Kinda sounds like something a terrorist would do doesnt it. Bet israel has learned a lot of terrorist tactics over the years

Even if it is a war crime I have zero faith that they will face any consequences.
Yeah, throw it on the pile.
Shall we add it to the list, then?
Even if the military targets killed by these devices are not considered war crimes, there were several civilians killed and those deaths should be considered war crimes.
The problem with using a weapon like this is that you can’t possibly know who is nearby at the detonation time. To me this seems similar to butterfly mines which have been internationally banned for 2 major reasons:
- they can end up outside the military operation area - they’re light enough that they can be blown off-course while falling, and will float downstream if they land in water
- children pick them up because they look like plastic toys
It seems like the same logic should apply - this weapon is not discriminating enough and is therefore not a legitimate military option.
I wonder what the effective radius of these things was (and what it wad expected to be)
low amount of explosives + low density shrapnel may have made this basically a touch-distance weapon.
yeah, and i might be a dumbass…
Imo they need to send Benjamin Netanyahu to the Hydraulic Press Channel for execution via head squish. He’s killed too many children (1 would be too many, dude has thousands of dead children on his hands)
War crimes?! Israel?! Stay my beating heart they are donezo now! The pagers will do them in!
Fuck you, media. Really. Fuck you.
It’s insane that there’s even entertaining that it isn’t.
